CROIX COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER, HUDSON, WI PRESENT: Chairperson Tom Dorsey; Supervisors Bill Oemichen, Linda Luckey, George Menter and Ron Raymond. Staff present included Tom Nelson, Mary Jenkins, Greg Timmerman, Ryan Dahlke, Dave Fodroczi, Ellen Denzer, Joe Grant, County Clerk Sue Nelson, Jim Rusch, Chuck Christensen, Kay Zilz and Rosemary Olson.

Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Menter to cast a unanimous ballot for Ron Raymond as the Committee Secretary. Motion carried. 9:15 A.M. HEARINGS Amendment to Subdivision Ordinance for Condominiums Nelson read the public hearing notice and explained that current ordinance language does not address reviewing condominiums like other subdivisions, and the new language would provide that capability. Cyril Cernohous, Town of Troy Board asked if there would be any other changes to the ordinance to reflect this new language, or does the language take care of the review process? Nelson replied that this would be the only necessary addition. Greg Timmerman, St. Croix County Corporation Counsel added, that the new language would not change condominium ownership and would be prepared according to the statutes. Chairperson Dorsey recessed the hearing for Committee action. Motion by Oemichen, Seconded by Luckey to recommend the new language to the subdivision ordinance to the County Board for adoption. Motion carried. Amendment to Subdivision Ordinance for Temporary Occupancy Special Exception Use Permit Nelson read the public hearing notice and explained that the current language does not reflect what is really needed for administration of the ordinance. Timmerman commented on the fact that a mobile home is not allowed on a parcel anyway. He further stated that he sees no reason for a person to obtain a special occupancy permit for a house they already live in and another for the new dwelling. Discussion on how to control the timeframe if completion of the new house were to go on longer than six months, and when the second house has to come down or be removed from the property. Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Menter to close the hearing. Motion carried. Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Menter to table this issue until a later date. Motion carried. ZONING BUSINESS Bills, Invoices & Revenue Report Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Menter to approve the Zoning Bills totalling $4,238.87. Motion carried. Chairperson Dorsey requested that the minutes show that the Committee reviewed the revenue report. Violation & Citations Discussion on the Town of Springfield violation. Rezonements A rezonement in the Town of St. Joseph was added to the June 17th hearing scheduled in the Town of Somerset. View at 7:15 p.m. and the hearing at 8:00 p.m. PLANNING BUSINESS Town of Troy Growth Management Plan Fodroczi reported that the Town of Troy has made a number of amendments to their Land Use Plan and several road corridors in the plan. He will pick up the final map from the town cleric later this morning to present to the Committee. Fodroczi further explained that some of the planned land uses were changed from long term ag to ag residential. One of those properties involved was the Ruemmele property. Cernohous pointed out that all of the changes were approved at a public hearing at a town meeting. ZONING BUSINESS CONTINUED Decision on Ruemmele Rezoning Nelson reported that he is in support of the rezonement of the Ruemmele property. Discussion on preserving farmland. Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Raymond to recommend approval to the County Board of the Ruemmele property to rezone 207 acres to ag res and 20 acres to A2 with the findings required by the Wisconsin statutes that this will not place more demands on the local government, that the road system is in place to handle the resulting subdivision, that there won't be any environmental problems (that we have been able to ascertain) as a result of the development and that the police and fire protection would all be sufficient to serve the subdivision; also based on the findings that the vast majority of the land located within the area are class 4 soils and that a significant portion of the land is already forested as opposed to crops. Motion carried. 2 MINOR SUBDIVISIONS Eleven minor subdivisions were acted upon as seen in Attachment A. MAJOR SUBDIVISIONS Apple River Bend First Addition - Town of Star Prairie Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Raymond to give final conditional plat approval per staff recommendations listed in the handout dated May 22, 1996. Motion carried. First Addition to Country Oaks - Town of Troy Nelson pointed out that the soil tests are now on file in the Zoning Office. Surveyor Murphy questioned the second drainage field as noted by Bob Heise from the Land Conservation Office. This plat was referred back to the Land Conservation Office and the Committee asked that Bob Heise report back at the Committee meeting on June 3rd. Lindale Meadows - Town of Somerset Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Raymond to give conditional preliminary plat approval per staff recommendations listed in the handout dated May 22, 1996. Motion carried. Wyngate - Town of Troy Motion by Omeichen, seconded by Luckey to give conditional preliminary plat approval per staff recommendations list in the handout dated May 22, 1996.

Motion carried. Stonepine - City of Hudson Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Raymond to approve the plat. Motion carried. ZONING BUSINESS CONTINUED Bluffline Setbacks Salishan Nelson noted that this refers to a development along the St. Croix River. The property was difficult to market because most people wanted to build closer to the bluffline and not the 100 ft. setback from the bluffline. It was recommended by Dan Koch from the DNR that this plat be brought back to the Planning, Zoning & Parks Committee to re -review the plat. Oemichen stated that many constituents want all rules to apply to everyone equally. Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Raymond that this matter be referred to Corporation Counsel for a legal determination on setback requirements, and have Corporation Counsel check with the DNR legal counsel. Motion carried. 3 Personnel Nelson reported that no one posted into the Administrative Secretary position, so it will be advertised in the local County newspapers for one week, and then the interviews will take place. He further noted that 12 applications were received for the Technician position. Chairperson Dorsey volunteered to be present at the interviews for the Technician position. Subdivision Review Procedures Nelson referred to a Plat Review Flow Chart previously mailed to the Committee. As a result of a request from the Committee, this information was developed, along with a new plat review request form. This will be shared with the surveyors and the Town Boards. Sanitary Fees/Terralift Failing System Repair Nelson noted that the plumbers are very interested in the concept of repairing an existing system, instead of replacing a septic system. Nelson suggested that if this procedure is used, the sanitary fees be lowered from $180 to $116. A soil test would have to be done before a permit could be issued. The state has already approved the procedure and requires the County to review the records and issue the permit. Discussion on the fees to be charged for the permit. The Committee recessed for lunch and reconvened at 1:12 p.m. PARK BUSINESS Bills and Invoices Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Raymond to approve the Park bills totalling $4,895.30. Motion carried. Grant reviewed the income report. Revenue has decreased 10.5% from this time last year due to the cooler weather. Park Manager's Report Grant reported that the camp sites were full over the Memorial Day weekend. Day use was down because of the cool weather. Grant reported that there was some storm damage on the Woodville Trail, but he does not know the extent of the damage. Perch Lake 1. Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Raymond to go into closed session pursuant to Wisconsin Statute sec. 19.85(1)(e) to deliberate on the possible acquistion of Perch Lake Property. Roll call vote - all yes, motion carried. 2. Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Menter to reconvene into open session pursuant to Wisconsin M statute sec. 19.85(2). Motion carried. Motion by Raymond, seconded by Luckey to form a negotiation team, consisting of Corporation Counsel Greg Timmerman, Bill Oemichen, Ellen Denzer and Joe Grant to open discussion with the Siems to establish a purchase price. Motion carried. Grant reported that the Woodville Trail committee met with Captain Demaris of the Army Reserve to discuss their possible involvement in the trail improvements. Grant distributed a copy of a draft plan for the Woodville Trail. The plan outlines areas that need work and Bob Heise has completed the survey cross sections where the tresses were removed. He explained that the next step would be to take the survey data to bridge vendors and get some cost estimates. The Committee meeting date of June 3rd to do Department Head job evaluations was changed to June 5th. Raymond excused at 3:00 p.m. Grant reported that the DOT and DNR have decided to put an 8 x 8 box/culvert under the new Hwy 64 overpass for snowmobiles. He further noted that the DNR will cost share approximately $10,000. Grant distributed a copy of the DILHR inspection report and a letter Grant sent to DILHR in response to the report. Grant reported that Troy Park received their supplies prior to Memorial Day weekend. Two of the seasonal employees returned to work and one new employee was hired. PLANNING BUSINESS Bills, Invoices & Revenue Report Motion by Luckey, seconded by Menter to approve the Planning bills totalling $31,814.29. Motion carried. Vice Chairperson requested that the minutes show that the Committee reviewed the revenue report. Land Information Project Fodroczi referred to the draft plan previously mailed to the Committee. He reported that the next step in the contract with UGC is for them to come here and conduct an executive briefing with the Project Team and the Planning, Zoning & Parks Committee. Fodroczi asked whom else the Committee thought should be included in the briefing. The Committee agreed that the Information Services Committee be included in the briefing. Fodroczi noted the other issue is getting grant funding in July and need authorization from the County Board to submit the grant request. This will be put on the June County Board meeting agenda. The briefing date was scheduled for June 10th, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. County Development Management Plan/Zoning Ordinance Fodroczi reported that the digital orthophotos which are needed to complete the mapping work are still not in . This does affect the overall project schedule by pushing it back four to six months. Once Regional Planning receives the orthophotos, they can complete the mapping in four to six weeks. Fodroczi discussed the Steering Committee meeting schedule for June, July and August. He also discussed an all day work session after the mapping is completed. Denzer noted that she has the final survey results and welcomed the Committee to stop by her office and take a look at them. She further noted that the rate of return of the surveys was better from the western end of the County than it was from the eastern end of the County. STH 35/64 Corridor Design Fodroczi reported on the Public Information session in the Town of St. Joseph with DOT. Marty Beekman from DOT asked for a joint letter from the Planning, Zoning & Parks and Transportation Committees confirming our continued support for the recommended alternative. Bridge Approach Bike Path Design Denzer reported that there is a followup meeting with DOT on Friday, June 7th to further discuss the off - road bike path off the new Stillwater bridge. Information Access Policy and Fees Fodroczi requested this be carried over until the June meeting because this was an issue that Supervisor Raymond was particularly interested in. Draft Report of State Interagency Land Use Council Fodroczi referred to the draft Land Use Report included in an information packet previously mailed to the Committee. This report will be submitted to the governor by June 30th. Fodroczi pointed out that this would have a direct bearing on the Committee's authority and requirements. Oemichen suggested that a comment be sent noting that we are fairly well equipped for a County to handle our various comprehensive plan development needs. While we appreciate the assistance from the state, we hope that this draft should not be read as implying that we accept this responsibility. Town of Troy Growth Management Plan continued With the help of a visual aid, Fodroczi pointed out where future road corridors should be, and the connections that should be made, and corresponding changes to the Town's land use plan maps. Any Other Business Fodroczi reported that of the zoning files are being checked against the zoning maps, to build zoning maps to reflect all of the decisions which would agree with the County Clerk's records. When completed, we will have all of the zoning maps current and accountable for the decisions made since 1978. Fodroczi reported that Regional Planning has the soils information completed for the Town of Warren. It will be used as a test case on how to handle environmental and ag land issues in the development plan/zoning ordinance. Fodroczi distributed a copy of a three part audio conference on redrafting an ordinance, if the Committee is interested in attending. He also distributed an article of interest dealing with Planning Commissioners. ZONING BUSINESS CONTINUED Sommerfeldt Rezoning Nelson received the ordinance amendment for William F. and Lois A. Sommerfeldt that had recently been before the County Board. This amendment was a correction of ordinance number 382(95), approved by the County Board on November, 1995.
